Quote of the MeetTCU Director of Equestrian Haley Schoolfield
"We started today without the energy we needed and it cost us the meet. However, we can't look past the many accomplishments and positive moments we had from both disciplines today. We have a good amount of time to tweak some things before we head to Fresno State next month. Hats off to SMU on the win today."
